TCS World Travel has announced an 11-day trip by private jet through three diverse regions of Japan, including six UNESCO World Heritage sites. The trip will take place from June 20 to June 30, 2026, and there is space for a total of 52 people on the tour.
The tour will begin in Anchorage, Alaska, where participants can meet each other and their expert trip leaders over a welcome dinner. The next morning, travelers will board their private Airbus A321 jet to cross the international date line and fly to Japan in luxury, with lie-flat seats, in-flight connectivity, and complimentary Bose noise-cancelling headsets.
From Alaska, the first stop on the tour is Kyoto, where participants can explore the mix of ancient and modern among the city’s temples, gardens, and shrines over three nights. Travelers will be able to take a samurai sword lesson from an actor and head choreographer for the first Kill Bill movie, travel by rickshaw through the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, explore the Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) Temple, partake in an authentic tea ceremony, go on a Nishiki Market Tour with a local chef, and visit Nara, Japan’s first capital in the 8th century.
From Kyoto, participants will hop on the private jet and head to Okinawa to explore its stunning beaches, lush subtropical landscapes, and fascinating culture. Travelers can take the opportunity to go snorkeling or diving about the coral reefs, explore the UNESCO World Heritage site Nakijin Castle, go shopping for pottery and local delicacies in Naha City, visit Naha Mausoleum and Shurijo Castle, and learn about Ryukyu glass at an artisan gallery.
The final leg of the tour will take the participants to Kyushu Island, at the southern end of the country, for two nights. From here, travelers can take a day trip to Nagasaki by train to learn about the legacy of the second city destroyed by an atomic bomb at the Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Museum. Participants can also spend a half day touring Fukuoka, take a day trip to Arita, the birthplace of Japanese porcelain, and sample local whiskey with an expert.
Spots on the tour cost $99,000 per person for double occupancy, with a $9,900 single supplement. The trip can be booked on the TCS World Travel website: tcsworldtravel.com.
